Lana Del Rey Opposes Kanye West’s Speech

Lana Del Rey has chosen to spoke out
against Kanye West’s support for the President of The United
States, Donald Trump. She openly declared that she believes that the
fact that the rapper supports the former businessman is a huge loss
for culture.

Though
Kanye has always been quite vocal in his support for the former
businessman, he triggered controversies yet again when he decided to
rant in favor of the U.S President after his performance on the
comedy program, Saturday Night Live. The rapper insisted in his rant
that the president was not racist, though popularly believed while
sporting a red baseball cap that said Make America Great Again.

When
Kanye posted a selfie of himself wearing the baseball cap, it led to
Lana criticizing him for it. The Video Games singer has never tried
to hide her political views which oppose the current president of the
United States, and thus, she declared that though Donald Trump’s
election meant that the country suffered a loss, Kanye’s support
for the property tycoon only means that culture also took a hit. Lana
wrote that the fact that the rapper identified with Donald Trump only
meant that he was just as narcissistic and delusional as the man he
supports.

Furthermore,
the artist vented that if Kanye could support the politician who
thought it was okay to inappropriately touch a woman because he is
famous, then he needs to get help and reevaluate his choices.

While voicing out his support for Donald
Trump in the caption with his selfie, Kanye also advised that
politicians in the U.S should consider abolishing the 13th
amendment that outlawed slavery. He believes that America should not
outsource jobs to other countries, rather it should take steps to
build more factories in the country and hence, create jobs for
ex-cons and the unemployed. The rapper’s suggestion to abolish the
13th
amendment caused not only Lana to take aim, but several other
celebrities to lash out. Chris Evans, Captain America star also
openly disapproved of Kanye’s suggestions and support for the
president.

After
the backlash, Kanye retracted his statement concerning the 13th
amendment saying that he had not mean to suggest that the amendment
be abolished, rather he wants it to be revised. However, the damage
had been done causing an uproar on social media where several
celebrities vented their anger in reply to the tweets made by the
rapper.
